Summary: Malaika always knew that her elder sister had married a moron, but for him and his best friend to get high in the middle of an apocalypse was a whole new level of stupid. When their camp gets attacked and overrun while Michonne is out looking for supplies, Malaika knew it was down to her (like always) to protect her nephew in Michonne's place. With that in mind Malaika traipsed through the woods with a toddler strapped to her chest surviving until a gorgeous man, a hunter, with a crossbow comes across her. She just never expected to find love in an apocalypse; now all that's left is to hope she'll reunite with her sister.

There had never been a woman that Daryl had wanted to be with. He's had one night stands but never ever a relationship, he never believed in the whole love at first sight cliche either. That is until he met a woman with a toddler strapped to her chest surviving in the woods with a sword in hand. He knew then that this woman is the one he wanted which is ironic considering it was in the middle of an apocalypse. He would be her hunter, and she his Artemis. Daryl couldn't deny he was attracted to the beauty; she was smart, beautiful and knew how to survive. Plus she didn't shone he and Merle. Maybe he had found his happiness ironically after the world had ended, but he wouldn't change it for the world.
